[Bug 1242794] [NEW] Missing virtio-port symlinks

[Matt Whiteley]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading from Raring to Saucy, our libguestfs system stopped
working. I then tried a fresh install of Saucy with the same results. I
narrowed the issue down to the udev package. I was able to downgrade the
udev package to the previous non-systemd (175-0ubuntu29) version and it
works again with no other changes. This leads me to believe the issues
isn't related to the updates of libguestfs, qemu, etc.

1) Ubuntu 13.10

2) systemd_204-0ubuntu18

3) libguestfs-test-tool should succeed as it does on Ubuntu 13.04.

4) libguestfs fails to communicate to the virtual machine due to missing
/dev/virtio-ports (org.libguestfs.channel.0 in this case) symlink to
/dev/vport1p1 (which is correctly created).
